Application Fee
| Category | Fee |

| SC / ST / PwBD | ₹177 (inclusive of GST) |
| UR / EWS / OBC | ₹1,180 (inclusive of GST) |

Age Limit (as on 01 July 2026)
Age criteria vary quite a bit depending on the post and scale you’re applying for, so it’s worth checking the specific post code carefully before you apply.
| Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Age | Generally 18 years unless a higher minimum is specified for the post (most posts start at 22 or 25 years) |
| Maximum Age | Ranges from 30 years for entry-level Scale II posts up to 50 years for senior Scale VI leadership roles |
Roughly, by scale:
- Scale II – Minimum 22, Maximum 30–35 years
- Scale III – Minimum 25, Maximum 35–38 years
- Scale IV – Maximum 40–42 years
- Scale V – Maximum 45 years

Age Relaxation
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | 5 years |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 3 years |
| Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD) | 10 years |
| Ex-Servicemen / Commissioned Officers (min. 5 years military service) | 5 years |
| Persons affected by 1984 riots | 5 years |
A couple of important notes here: age relaxation for SC/ST/OBC candidates can be combined with only one of the other relaxation categories (not stacked across all of them), and there’s currently no reservation for ex-servicemen in these officer-cadre vacancies — though they can still avail the age relaxation.
Educational Qualification
Because this recruitment spans so many domains, the required qualification really depends on which post you’re targeting. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

Selection Process
Union Bank’s selection process isn’t the same for every post — it depends on the scale you’re applying for:
- Online Examination – For posts up to Scale III. General Banking posts (G01–G19) are tested on Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, English Language, and Professional Knowledge. Specialist posts (S01–S108) up to Scale III are tested only on Professional Knowledge (50 questions, 100 marks, 60 minutes).
- Group Discussion – Conducted if the bank deems it necessary based on the number of applicants.
- Any Other Test/Assessment – Typically used for Scale IV, V, and VI posts instead of a written exam.
- Personal Interview – Worth 100 marks, with a minimum qualifying score of 50 for General/EWS candidates and 45 for reserved categories.
The final merit list is prepared based on combined marks from the online exam and interview (or GD/assessment and interview, where no written exam is held), category-wise, up to the number of vacancies available.
One thing worth flagging: for the online exam, there’s a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer, so guessing blindly isn’t a great strategy.

| Manager | MMGS-II | 64820-2340/1-67160-2680/10-93960 | ₹21 Lakh |
